    Whoa - a great find in a little strip mall. Big servings, big flavor and big smiles all around. Come hungry if you order a combo. :) I got the combo and the better half got the wrap with beef shawarma. Good stuff and we couldn't finish it all. Friendly vibe - totally hit the spot. Grilled proteins, sauces and hummus. Totally recommended.

    This was a tough score to give because the cook ended up helping us and he was absolutely amazing gave us all the time we needed for a first visit. However why the score became so low is when the young lady came out from the back wearing gloves she was touching money touching her hair then touching food. Also all the tables were dirty and the cleaning solution was left on the counter near the tea/drinks. Food quality was mediocre at best but the portions were large. Doubt we will return and being honest, watching the owner come in with things out of his SUV from what appears to be smart and final tells me they're struggling

    Stopped by and picked up a family meal for dinner. This place is under new ownership and they have remodeled inside with a new store sign on the outside! Loved everything about my meal and my family enjoyed it as well! Everything was fresh, tasty and the quality of meats was 10/10! Very tender and juicy and the kafta was my fave and the chicken was my husband's fave! We will be back to try their other items! Love a local gem that is in my neighborhood serving up delicious home cooked food!

    I wanted to give an update...we decided to give mama's another try and it did not disappoint! We got our usual and are hooked once again. Thank you!

    When I arrived here in the evening I was the only customer. The guy at the counter was polite but not very friendly. It was very bright in there and had Arabic music playing on videos on screens. I got the chicken shawarma plate. I was a bit confused because the menu screen only shows wraps but the paper menu by the register shows plates. So the plate was very generous. The chicken had good flavor but was a bit dry. The rice was very fluffy and not sticky, very good texture. The hummus was good and the garlic sauce was great, creamy without being too strong.

    The chicken kebab here was pretty good. The cashier was a super nice lady. Expect your food to take a while to be cooked. What would the wait because my kebab was juicy. The place looked OK all around. Clean enough.

    I saw some reviews mentioning the new ownership, but honestly, I think the food and service are better than ever! Everything tasted so fresh and home-cooked. You can tell there's real care put into each dish. I think the owner was there when I visited, and she was so kind, welcoming, and genuinely passionate about the food (and super cute, too!) I wasn't sure what to order at first, but the staff were incredibly helpful and made great recommendations. The portions are perfect, and at a great price point. Everything I tried was delicious, and to top it off, they even gave me complimentary baklava at the end which was amazing! If you haven't tried this place since the new ownership, give it a chance. It feels like a true family-run Mediterranean spot, full of warmth, flavor, and heart. I'll definitely be back!

    Such a great local Mediterranean spot! The food was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. Everything tasted homemade, from the tender meats to the vibrant sides. Portions were generous, service was friendly, and the atmosphere felt warm and welcoming. Definitely a go-to spot when you're craving quality Mediterranean food

    First time having Baklava and it was really good! The business has changed owners but for good reason. The original owners retired and left the business is good hands. The food is still great and the place is more modern.

For two, we ordered the "individual portions" of Mandi Chicken (young chicken roasted with Yemeni spices) & Lalamb Haneeth (a roasted young lamb that falls off the bone). These were both served over a large platter of Mandi rice and came with Yemeni sauce and yogurt. It was expertly made, yet still gave us the warmth of a homestyle meal. The generous portions resulted in a second meal for me! On a Tuesday night, this place was quite packed with friends and families. It seems like wonderful place to host parties or business meetings. Someone nearby us had a birthday, and a group of staff came out with a dessert, blasting a traditional birthday song over the speakers and encouraged the whole restaurant to clap along! Despite the large gatherings, the restaurant is a no-reservation spot. They have a covered patio outside to seat an overflow of customers in case. Thankfully, my boyfriend and I were seated right away. They had a contactless menu, and we scanned a QR code to check our food options, but a server took our order and offered great recommendations once we waved him down. I would love to come back and try other dishes, like their grilled chicken or lamb--as well as the desserts and teas !!

I don't like writing bad reviews for small businesses, but we were almost SCAMMED. 1. It was so hard to get the servers' attention, even when pressing the ringer button at our table. They completely ignore the ringing sound every single time. 2. We had to ask for basic things that should have been provided already before we asked. They served us the salad without any utensils or plates. We had to ask for the sauces that were explicitly written were part of our meal. And every single time we had to ask, we NEVER received an apology. 3. This was the last straw cuz at this point, it felt like we were being targeted. They charged us for an extra lamb dish that costed more than any of the dishes we ordered. When we brought this up, NO APOLOGY.

But once you walk in, the space is clean, comfortable, and actually really nice to sit and enjoy a meal in. That said, the FOOD is absolutely the star here. Just look at this bowl. I got their "bowl with everything" with chicken (which they recommended), and it was incredible. Every single component tasted fresh, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. The chicken was seasoned so well, the toppings were vibrant and crisp, and all the sauces and dips tied everything together perfectly. It's one of those meals where every bite somehow gets even better. Honestly, I wish I had a bigger stomach so I could just keep eating because it was THAT good. And don't skip the fresh pita...it's warm, soft, fluffy, and dangerously addictive. I could easily order a dozen of them alone. Their fries and dip selection are also amazing and make the whole experience even better. This is the kind of place you try once and immediately start craving again the next day.

I worked there as a kid, through college and beyond, so I'm a big fan of mom and pop shops.

It's close to Vons and one of my favorite stores, Book Off. But that's not why you want to read. We had at several dishes and have gone back at least twice for their family specials. The rice pilaf is to die for. The meats are succulent. The cucumber yogurt sauce is FANTASTIC. And folks, this family-owned business is not here to gauge your eyes out price-wise. I'm not expecting anyone to come from out of town to this place or anything like that, but c'mon down if you're hankering for Mediterranean food at reasonable prices (esp. for families and you like what they're offering for those family packages) and you're within a 10 minute drive, this is worth your while. Congratulations to another great mom and pop shop in this area.

Always appreciate that. Service was friendly and welcoming, and the place felt clean and well kept. It has that family-run feel, which adds to the experience. The only thing that's changed a bit over the years is the value. Prices are definitely higher than I remember, but honestly that seems to be the case everywhere these days. The generous portions help balance that out. Located in a strip mall in Westminster, it may not be flashy, but if you're looking for solid Mediterranean food, big servings, and friendly service, it still delivers. Glad I made the return visit.
